Professional Activities

Dr. Christine Seroogy is tenured professor in the Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Rheumatology. She is also the assistant medical director of the clinical research unit which is supported by the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR). Seroogy has co-led the NIH funded Wisconsin Infant Study Cohort (WISC) since its inception in 2013.
